Thank you Dave, for the information you provide us all. It's better to have information upfront than blindly lead to slaughter.

I think it is obvious there is a bunch of bad stuff going down, especially in the E. Valley. DUI revenue is down, so find another revenue stream. One out of every eight Maricopa Co. residents were busted for DUI last year. Cities, the county courts, Sheriff Joke all have their hands out for fiscally punishing "bad people".
I remember a few years Scottsdale PD used to go to Oldtown and use wax pencils to "X" the headlights cars in the club parking lots. You cannot see it from your side, but they can and that's all the probable cause they need.
This has caused me to rethink safety. I just talked to a friend about her ad. She had been thinking about deleting certain words and now she is doing it. BP? Pass. Entrapment. Screening and references? What used to be an inconvenience is now a welcome requirement.
Pseudo-religious right wing nuts are on a holy crusade to rid their world (or at least the County) of evil-doers and take their money and property in the process with "saving the children" as their excuse and justification. The same ilk who demand that government get off their backs now use the most destructive police powers (RICO) to attack individuals they don't like.
Bottom line is we sure have reasons to be concerned and ignoring it ain't gonna make them leave us alone. VOTE
